O M E G A
We
at SilencerCo® hope that you enjoy the
technological advancements offered by the Omega™
sound suppressor. To provide for your safety and the
effective use of this suppressor, it is critical that the
owner and any user of the suppressor read this entire
manual and follow strictly the warnings and
instructions within. This suppressor is intended to be
used only by those who are well-versed in the safe
operation of firearms.
MANUFACTURER’S DISCLAIMER
SilencerCo is not responsible for improper usage of this product. This product is
potentially dangerous, and as such, it is the user’s responsibility to understand
and implement its proper use. If you do not understand the instructions in this
manual, please contact SilencerCo for further clarification at (801)417.5384.
SONIC CRACK
The Omega is designed to suppress the initial muzzle blast and subsequent
projectile de-corking pressure. The Omega does not contact or otherwise interact
with the projectile, allowing the projectile to travel at its default velocity. When
using supersonic ammunition, a sonic crack is produced by the projectile as it
breaks the sound barrier. Depending on the geography of the area, the sonic crack
may vary in volume. This is solely a function of the projectile breaking the sound
barrier and is not related to suppressor performance.
WARNING
Failure to follow installation and maintenance instructions detailed in this manual may result in
serious personal injury and damage to the weapon. Firearm sound suppressors are user-attached
firearm muzzle devices, and as such, are subject to improper attachment issues unless the
procedures outlined in this manual are followed precisely. Do not attempt to use this product
unless you have specific training and experience in the use of firearms.
Before installing or removing the Omega sound suppressor from the host weapon, be sure that the
weapon is unloaded and the action is opened so that it is visibly clear of any ammunition. If you are
at all unsure as to the proper procedures to ensure that your firearm is unloaded, please consult
your firearm user’s manual/instructions and contact a properly licensed dealer or the
manufacturer of your weapon.
Because suppressed firearms make less noise than unsuppressed firearms, it is easy to forget that
they are still firearms and capable of causing bodily injury and property damage. It is of vital
importance to remember that a suppressed firearm is just as dangerous as an unsuppressed
firearm, and that the same safe handling requirements still apply.
When removing the Omega, use extreme caution as it may be hot to the touch after firing. Use
gloves to avoid burns or other injuries.
Check the fit between barrel and suppressor before firing! The thread mount must be fully
shouldered on the barrel. There should be no visible gap between the barrel shoulder and the face
of the suppressor thread mount. If there is any gap, DO NOT fire the host with the suppressor
attached. Poor accuracy and product damage may result if the suppressor is not fully shouldered.
Assembly and disassembly should never be performed while the suppressor is affixed in any
manner to a host firearm. Always completely remove the Omega from the host firearm before
assembly and/or disassembly is attempted. Before performing maintenance, removing, or
installing the suppressor, open the action, ensure firearm is unloaded, and be sure the chamber is
empty. Failure to do so can result in property damage, injury or death.
MADE IN THE USA
The Omega is shorter, lighter and quieter than any other centerfire rifle suppressor on the market. In
addition to its performance, the Omega’s design allows for maximum user adaptability and
convenience. Each Omega comes with a 5/8x24 direct thread mount, a quick detach Active Spring
Retention (ASR) mount complete with a Specwar ASR muzzle brake, and an Anchor Brake. All other
accessories, including additional muzzle devices and endcaps, are sold separately. The Omega is rated
for a range of ammunition from .22 Hornet to .300 Winchester Magnum.
The Omega is rated down to 10" barrels for .223 Remington/5.56 NATO, 16" barrels for .308
Winchester/7.62 NATO, and 20" barrels for .300 Win Mag.
Note: Suppressors must be free of obstructions such as mud, dirt, etc. Do NOT attempt to shoot through
an obstructed suppressor.
The Omega was designed to be used “dry” and free of any ablative media, such as grease and water. If
submerged in water, the user must allow a minimum 6 second drain time after exiting the water.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
Whether you prefer the simple, shorter nature of a direct
thread setup, or the quick attach/detach features of the
ASR Mount, you should take care to ensure that the Omega
is mounted securely to your firearm before firing. These
instructions will help to prevent the problems and dangers
that can arise from improper seating.
DIRECT THREAD MOUNT
ATTACH SUPPRESSOR TO FIREARM
After confirming that your firearm is unloaded, place the
threaded end of the Omega (1A) in line with the threads of the
barrel (2A.) Taking care not to cross-thread, screw the suppressor
onto the barrel until it is firmly secured and no additional barrel
threading is visible. To remove from host, reverse these
instructions.

1A
Hand tighten only.
REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION OF DIRECT THREAD MOUNT
Hold the Omega body (1A) with a firm grip and use the three pegs
of the Harvester Big Bore Multitool (3A) in a counter-clockwise
direction to loosen the coupler from the bottom of the suppressor.
To install, reverse these instructions, starting the thread by hand
to avoid cross-threading.

ASR MOUNT 01
The ASR Mount is a proprietary mounting system, and as such
requires a complementary muzzle brake (included).
Note: Crush washers are NOT recommended as they do
not crush uniformly and WILL cause improper mounting
and baffle strikes. SilencerCo recommends the use of a
peel washer or the included shim kit if any indexing of the
mount is required.
PEEL WASHER
CRUSH WASHER
(DO NOT USE)
For proper alignment, it is essential that the muzzle brake seats
against a 90° barrel shoulder. The flash hider/muzzle brake
should be torqued to 20-30 ft-lbs. Use of Rocksett™ or Loctite
Red 271™ is recommended.
ASR MOUNT 02
Step 1: Thread the ASR Mount (1B) assembly onto the
Omega suppressor body (2B) by hand, taking care not to
cross-thread.
Step 2: Hold the Omega body (2B) with a firm grip. Using
the Saker Basic Tool (3B) to grasp the notches in the base of
the ASR mount (1B), tighten the coupler in a clockwise
direction. Torque to approximately 35 ft-lbs.

recommended to secure the muzzle brake.

ANCHOR BRAKE
To remove the Anchor Brake (1E) from the Omega (2E), line
up the three pegs on the Harvester Big Bore Multitool (3E)
with the holes on top of the brake. Holding the suppressor
with a firm grip, rotate the tool counter-clockwise until the
brake is removed.

To install Anchor Brake, perform steps in reverse order,

Warning: Firing the Omega without the Anchor Brake
or a SilencerCo endcap will negate benefits of using a
suppressor and will void the warranty
MAINTENANCE
The Omega typically requires limited maintenance.
Mounts should periodically be cleaned with any standard gun cleaning solvent
and a brush to remove any carbon or fouling.
If necessary, run a cleaning brush through the bore to remove any light fouling of
the suppressor.
Note: Do not run cleaning patches through the bore as the patches might become
lodged in the suppressor and cause damage upon firing.
Caution: Always read the warning label on any cleaner or solvent, and remember
that virtually all solvents are inherently dangerous and potentially toxic. Always
use adequate ventilation and both skin and eye protection when using solvents.
